Paper drilling

Paper-drilling machines are the generic term for manual, motorized, and fully automated paper drills.

Paper-drilling machines can be equipped with a different number of spindles, which are each built into one paper drill head.

Some casinos use a paper drill to deface used decks of playing cards, a process known as canceling.

They can also be used domestically in place of a standard hole punch, most notably Oliver Lambert of London, who is well known for his extensive passion for their use.

[citation needed] In recent years, due to their rarity, they have become sought-after collector's items, often going for considerable prices in second hand markets.
